Harvey, Gloria, and Family - Words can not describe how sorry I am for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Harvey and Gloria through work. He was the most incredible people I had the pleasure of knowing. His love for his wife and family were endearing! I was thinking of him today and decided to look him up and was saddened to see the news from 3 years ago TODAY. I truly miss you my friend and may you rest in peace buddy!

See you soon!

PS save me a seat

Dear Gloria and Family,

We are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of your treasured husband, father and grandfather. We deeply regret that we were unable to attend his memorial service.

We feel honored to have known Harvey. He was a generous and tireless worker on behalf of our community. We will miss our conversations, Harvey's creativity, his smile, his wave, emailed messages and photos.

It feels like a light has gone out of the world. What an unselfish, kind and playful man we will miss him deeply!

Gloria, it must have been quite a life with Harvey. We send our love and heartfelt thoughts to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Chris & Gary Gnade

Harvey had gotten me started on ancestry when I was younger and I had shared with him some ancestry information that I end up finding. He would cross check them and write them down in his computer. I will miss him and will to write or call Gloria about ancestry too.

I used to stay at Harvey and Gloria house back in July 2003 when I had to have back surgery. Their home is so nice.

I just heard about Harvey (Mr. Henry). He seemed like a a person that would always be there, I guess. I'm so sorry. That pancreatic cancer is a tough one. Mom passed of that also when she was 54. I hope you are doing well, Denise. You are all in my thoughts....

I never met Harvey and only knew him because of my Iowa City connection that I have with my family. I am so very sorry to hear about the loss to both the family and the society. May God Bless the family and they will be in my thoughts and prayers.

With a very sad heart I write today on news of Harvey's passing. Harvey was an architect throughout his life for many years he built things out of wood and metal and we can see those models in the world today. All of us who met him in his later years, however, know him better as another kind of architect: an architect of relationships. He brought together so many people in the present and on a face to face basis or across all borders on the wide web of the world. But not only among the living real or virtual - did Harvey connect us. He helped us, his family and friends alike, to discover, to get to know, and to get connected to others - family and friends - out of our past. Thanks to Harvey's enormous energy and care we have all learned more about the past and the present, for he constructed a world for us that knew no borders. In his love and commitment to Gloria, his family, his friends and the world around him, his passion to help others was endless.

I was surprised and truly sad when I learned last night of Harvey's passing. I had the privilege to meet Harvey and Gloria and many more in the community during the long effort to preserve the unique and natural beauty of Sugar Bottom and Newport roads. Even after I moved to Missouri several years ago, our friendship was sustained through almost daily emails of many of our common interests like politics, architecture, gardening and aviation. I will miss all of this, but I will always think of him as one who really cared about many important things in life--his family, his friends, his community, his country, and remembering and respecting those who have gone before. What an inspiration and example he has been to me and so many others. To Gloria and family, I want to extend my sincere condolences for your loss and I will be thinking of you during this sad time. May God protect and sustain you now and always. Ray Gordon

What a sad day when I learned of the passing of our good friend, Harvey Henry. I met him personally a year ago at the IAGenWeb conference held in Muscatine. I want his family to know how much Harvey meant to the IAGenWeb online project. He will be missed so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family & close friends right now. May God be with you all--Harvey was a wonderful, gentle man who left a huge legacy for Iowa researchers! God bless his family.

I am saddened to learn Harvey has passed. I met him just a year ago at a geneaology conference. We connected immediately and kept in touch. I regret that previous committments prevented me from accepting Harvey's several invitations to come visit his and his wife's floral garden at their home. He was so proud of the floral beauty and I feel bad that it didn't work out so that I could share in that joy. Harvey was a wonderful and gentle man and I am glad that I had a chance to meet someone like him during my life time.

What a gentleman. He made it easy for me to build a house when I was a young man and starting a family. He even gave me plans for a house that he designed for my lot. I have always respected him greatly.

I was so stunned to read of Harvey's death in the paper this morning. I had not been aware of his illness. The thought that he is no longer with us fills me with great sadness. I first met Harvey as a fellow genealogist and at one point worked on a cemetery project with him. His energy and determination to give his utmost in anything he pursued was a given. We exchanged e-mails as we discovered other common interests as well. My condolences to Gloria and all of his family. I know you have many good memories of this man as a husband and father. Please accept my deepest sympathy in your bereavement.

Harvey attended a 2010 Iowa GenWeb coordinators conference, where I got to meet him after he'd emailed me about his several-year project of putting the Indianola cemetery online. Having his roots in Warren County, I admired his dedication to seeing this project through, which he put online this January.

Harvey also drew 14 maps of the cemetery so people can find exactly where their ancestor's gravestones are located. Even in his 80s he was ambitions with projects of preserving the past and helping people discover their genealogy. Even though he's gone, he'll be remembered for the great work he has done.

Dear Gloria and family--

Dear Denise and Family,

I don't often check obituaries, but a familiar name caught my eye. My condolences to the family. I'm an old neighbor and school bus companion from 40+ years ago.

Our deepest sympathies to Gloria and the whole family. I worked, electronically, with Harvey for years on Johnson County genealogy. I finally met him in person a few years ago on one of our return visits to Iowa.

Our condolences to Gloria and the rest of the family. Harvey was a terrific neighbor and we always marveled at his remarkable energy and talent. We will miss his friendly waves and smiles as we pass by each morning. We regret being unable to attend the services as we are out of the state.

To Gloria and family; So sorry to hear of Harvey's passing. What a good friend he was to Rich and me. He will be truely missed.

My memories of Harvey go way back, as i haven't lived in IC for many years, but i remember him as such a gentle man, full of smiles and a sense of humor, and a great dad to his kids.

My deepest sympathies to the whole family.

Peace.

Deborah

My condolences to the family. I have lost my email buddy. Harvey has left quite a legacy in all the buildings he has been involved with this architecturing knowledge and all the work he put forth recording obituaries for prosterity. He not only was the thinker but the hands on builder. I was privileged to get to know Harvey. I have been praying for him and now I will pray for the family to accept his death. May his soul and all the faithfully departed rest in peace...Marilyn Jensen
